Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using Ridstar Q20 and Q20 Lite e-bikes immediately because they pose a risk of serious injury and death.

The front wheel can detach without warning , posing a crash hazard to consumers. CPSC is aware of 32 reports of the front wheel detaching, including 31 reports of injuries such as concussions, broken bones, cuts, scrapes, and bruises.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the e-bikes immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous e-bikes. Additionally, the batteries of the Ridstar Q20 e-bike, which were the subject of a previous CPSC product safety warning, must be disposed of following local hazardous waste disposal procedures.

The manufacturer, Huizhou Xingqishi Sporting Goods Co., Ltd., of China, has been unresponsive to CPSC's requests for information about these products or a recall.

The e-bikes are black and the brand name Ridstar is printed on the battery. The model number Q20 or Q20 Lite is printed on the purchase receipt. The e-bikes were sold on AliExpress.us, Amazon.com, Ridstar.net and Walmart.com.

The e-bikes were manufactured in China.

Note: Do not throw this lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins) or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Defective lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts defective lithium-ion batteries.

Related Recalls

The recalled youth ATVs violate the mandatory safety standard for ATVs because they are missing brake lights, reducing visibility of the youth ATV to other vehicles, posing a deadly crash hazard.

The recalled Bistro and Bistro Deluxe vehicles have an inaccurate weight capacity certification label. This could result in the vehicle being overloaded, which poses an injury hazard.

The drain covers do not bear the required product markings, in violation of the mandatory safety standard under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing risk of serious injury or death from entrapment and drowning hazards. The drain covers also fail to meet safety requirements because they are missing statements regarding the service life of the covers and installation and maintenance instructions.

About the U.S. CPSC

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.

Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
